Details : Vriksha is Sanskrit word for tree and raksha means guard. This astra causes the trees to grow on both sides of the waterfall . As evident from the name these trees shield both the players. After the trees grow upto their full length the astra reaches upto the sky. Here it starts forming big hailstones. These hailstones then start falling towards the ground. If any hailstone collides with player or opponent it gives releases points. But if the player or the opponent is well protected by trees then these hailstones get destroyed on striking the trees and do not harm the player or opponent respectively. So this astra has a simple strategy, the player must use this Vriksha Raksha only when he is on ground and opponent is above ground. In this case player will be shielded against hailstones while opponent will be exposed to them. If both player and opponent are on ground or both are above ground, then using this Vriksha Raksha is nothing but waste of this power packed astra, as it will not add any points to player account (equal number of points will get added and subtracted from the player account). And Vriksha Raksha can cause colossal damage if used opposite to its best strategy i.e. if opponent is on ground and player is not. Then obviously player will loose a lot of points. So this astra can really turn the tide of the duel. Each hail stone moves opponent or player downward.
